  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.

  • News for December 2013 5Th December 2013 Christmas Lunch
    News for December 2013 5th December 2013 Christmas Lunch at the Old Royal Ship. Message from Bill Balchin. Well done all you heroes who rode to, and especially from, Luckington. I hope you got home before dark. Yes, I bottled out and drove - but I don't mind once a year when I have eaten a Christmas lunch (excellent as usual I thought). Many thanks to Pete and Malcolm, not just for today but all year. Ride report from Pete Campbell: We left Mangotsfield station at 10:15 with Rob Searle leading the way to Luckington. His appointment as ride leader today was clearly a popular decision, as twenty-two people made their way to the old station for the ride. Two minutes into the ride Lara rolled over a sharp object (not sure what, but I guess that doesn't really matter, only that her tyre needed fixing). Mike volunteered to assist and the pair made their own way to lunch. So a smaller but still large enough group of twenty followed Rob down the new cycle path across the railway into Westerleigh, up Wapley Hill, through Dodington and across the A46 near Old Sodbury. A loop through Badminton village gave us the opportunity to view some seriously high-quality Cotswold stone for a few seconds. But we were not out for the view - a Christmas meal was waiting. A short detour round Alderton and we'd done 28 kilometers before lunch. We had seventy two people there this year for the very acceptable menu of soup, turkey with many trimmings and Christmas pudding.
